I oppose any thing that Polesi tries to get over the American people. I oppose any health care program the government developes or manages. We are way over our heads in dept, thanks to Polesi. She should resign and maybe the government could pay some of our doubt. That is if China doesn't call in their loans, otherwise it will be our great-great-grandchildren still paying off their debit. Thanks for giving a raise to Congress, it doesn't matter that million of Americans are out of work.

Congress and the federal government are making themselves irrelevant. They cannot do anything right. They can't stop spending, they can't pass a budget let alone stick to it, this admin won't protect us from our enemies, they can't educate, they want to micromanage us on every level but exempt themselves from the same rules, no guns, no smoking, no soda, no french fries… blah blah blah!!! So then, why do we continue to send them our money? We are the fools! It's time to secede from the union! To hell with the federal government! They aren't doing anything for us. Fire them like you would any other free market vendor! If we sent all our federal and payroll taxes to our own state, imagine what we could do on a local level, where the representatives are in our own back yard and have to hear our voices and listen to what we say!

how in the hell did we as a country let this happen to us (ie the complete fools destroying our country)

It is pretty much over. I am fifty. They will be voted out in 2012, but by then they will have dug ourselves in such a whole it will take decades to dig out from. I won't live that long. Sadly, there is no will or way to stop these fools short of some absolutely dramatic revolt right in Washington DC-and while some are waking up there are still to many drinking the kool aid

Pelosi is a disgrace to this country. There isn't a shred of decency or goodness in this woman. She needs to go – NOW!

I say "Pass It". The two leading voices admitting that Cap and Trade, and health care reform will drastically raise energy prices are Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry, both of whom married into mega millions.

Pass the VAT tax, but make it highly progressive. It won't happen of course, but it is amusing to think about it.

Hey, the have to pay for HR1388 somehow:

You just spent $20 million to move members/supporters of Hamas, terrorist organization, to the United States. Housing, food the whole enchilada. HB 1388 Passed!

Whether you are an Obama fan, or not , everyone in the U.S.A needs to know. Something happened – this bill was passed behind our backs. You may want to read about it. It wasn't mentioned on the news. It just went by on the ticker tape at the bottom of the CNN screen. Obama funds $20. million in tax payer dollars to immigrate Hamas refugees to the USA. This is the news that didn't make the headlines. By executive order, Pres. Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in "migration assistance" to the Palestinian refugees and "conflict victims" in Gaza. The "presidential determination", which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the USA was signed and appears in the Federal Register.

Few on Capitol Hill, or in the media, took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support to the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of Jan.. 2006. Let's review …itemized list of some of Obama's most recent actions since his inauguration: His first call to a head of state, as president, was to Mahmoud Abbas, leader of the Fatah party in the Palestinian territory. His first one-on-one television interview with any news organization was with Al Arabia Television. His first executive order was to fund/facilitate abortions – not just here in the USA but within the world, using our tax dollars. He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of detainees halted (20). He ordered overseas CIA interrogation centers closed. He withdrew all charges against the masterminds behind the USS Cole and the 'terror attack' on 9/11. Now we learn that he is allowing hundreds of Palestinian refugees to move to, and live in, the USA at American taxpayer expense.

These important, and insightful, issues are being lost in the blinding bail-outs and "stimulation" packages.

Doubtful??? To verify this for yourself: http://www.thefederalregister.com/d.p/2009-02-04-E9-2488

I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch, but all of this stupidity in unrivaled.

In America, Wealth = Freedom.

Therefore, as Tim in AZ mentions, once they have figured out a way to part you from your wealth or your disposable income, they have effectively taken away your freedom. Very clever or very devious. When you start to look at everything as a whole, it starts to make sense . . .

Cap & Trade – Not about saving the planet – it's about raising taxes on energy and driving manufacturing and farming jobs out of the USA.

Health Care Reform – Not about reforming the Health Care Industry – It's about raising taxes and taking away your ability to choose your own health care.

VAT – Not really about raising money for the government – It's about taking away extra money from every citizen and having companies lay-off more workers.

The STIM'USELESS' package – Not about a short-term jump start for the economy – It was about political pay-back and another reason to raise taxes on those filthy, nasty rich people that make over $250,000 per year.

If the government was really interested in raising revenues, they should institute tax cuts on everyone and on businesses. There is no way they can reverse the trend of deficit spending with the "real" unemployment numbers of around 15 to 20%. Because they don't want to. Keep as many people (voters) dependent on government as possible . . . Keep the cycle going. I am sure it is not a conspiracy. I hope.

Can anyone be surprised at Ms. Pelosi's call for more taxes? And to call it a "value added tax"?

Where the hell is the value?

I've said it a hundred times before, THEY WON'T STOP UNTIL THEY GET THERE HANDS ON EVERY LAST CENT WE HAVE.

THESE DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS AND THE SENATE HAVE GOT TO BE STOPPED.
